This cross was first made in the University of California. He made the cross to bring out the supreme quality of Cabernet wine and resistance of Carignan to heat in one single variety at low rates.

This variety of grape can be found in Australia, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Chile, Israel and USA. The vine is drought resistant. It can also tolerate high winds without any damage to the berries.

In South Africa there has been a problem of poor seed. Though resistant to heat, this grape variety is prone to powdery mildew. In California, to maximise the quality of wines, irrigation should be limited and the fruit should be exposed to sun as much as possible.

This grape variety is among those grapes that have no famous names except their original name. The wines produced have an alcohol content of about 13.5%.

It also went under production decline in the recent years due to harsh weather conditions.
It is still used by a number of regions to produce better quality of table wines.

It has managed to reach the labels of many wines, but there are still many wines, which use Ruby Cabernet in their blending and still do not mention its name on the label. The grape is gradually increasing its respect in the region so as to be recognised in the market.
